not a lot coming from Jasper Hearts Wren lately.  been slacking off.  well, sort of.  there's nothing like maternity leave to make you realize that when you run your own company, there's no such thing as maternity leave! meet Fox, the newest addition to the team:

wren + fox

but now, back to work.  this sunday, Jasper Hearts Wren will be in Hayes Valley for another Urban Air Market.  as a special treat, JHW co-founder, Heather Jennings, will be working the booth this time around.  she's been super busy with Poppy Haus so swing by and grill her on her latest DIY project, all while picking up those baby shower gifts you've been meaning to buy!

in addition, we'll be getting help from amazing furniture designer and friend Alice Tacheny.  we're trying to convince her to vend at the next UAM so we've roped her into helping out with the booth to drive the point home. you can see her line here, or stop into Peace Industry in SF or Erica Tanov at Marin Country Mart to see some pieces locally.

wren and her friend next door have developed their own messaging system.

it consists of a hand written note speared on a bamboo stick and shoved through the fence.

seeing the messages going back and forth makes me so nostalgic for childhood and my pack of neighborhood friends. nothing like playing outside until dark, baseball in the street, yelling "CAR!"..."GAME ON!" at the top of your lungs, and the general parent-free shenanigans kids get up to when left to their own creative devices.  love.

the heart of unique

if you know anything about jasper hearts wren, you know that we seem to always be talking about unique LA, but today is a little different. yah, yah, yah, we'll be participating in their 5th annual spring show this weekend (mother's day!). and yah, yah, like the past shows it features hundreds of made-in-the-usa designers with clothing, jewelry, stationery, and even food and drinks. yes, its beautifully curated so you'll be wowed by booth after booth and table after table of creatively designed and displayed products. and yes, of course they are still great at throwing a party - there is always a DIY area, free drinks, a photo booth, a free tote bag, and no telling what else this year! we know, you get it!

but today we want to take a sec to mention the creator of the event and founder of Unique USA.

Sonja Rasula, Unique USA

when we first starting doing these events, we always wondered how Sonja Rasula did it. she puts together these huge consumer fairs and the kicker is, customers show up.  lots of customers. like more than 20,000 at each event. and you know what that means? vendors are successful. like to the tune of $1.5M per event, collectively. and customers are excited to have a giant mall-type shopping area without all the gap and panda express.

Sonja set out to create a consumer space that showcased up-and-coming designers that make product locally. she wanted to create a world in which artisans could make money from their craft. her business model also places importance on growing the local economy and teaching shoppers to buy in a socially and environmentally conscious way. she totally nailed it. all the while managing to give back to the community (they've donated close to $30,000 to date). jasper hearts wren, for one, is very, very grateful!

read a great article that Los Angeles I'm Yours wrote about Sonja here because our blurb just scratches the surface of the cool stuff she's doing.  get inspired!
